On our last day in Italy, we visited the beautiful city of Milan. In my opinion, out of all the other cities, Milan seemed like the most modern city and the one that was the most like home. This stems from the fact that it was heavily bombed during World War II and therefore a lot of the buildings had to be rebuilt. The hotel in Milan was also one of the nicest places we have stayed at, however, the apartments in Florence remain my favorite. At first I really wasn’t excited to visit this city because I’m not huge of fashion. However, I really enjoyed just walking around Milan’s Galleria, the oldest mall in the world. I even spun around three times on the bull for good luck. I also really enjoyed climbing Milan’s Duomo. After conquering the Duomo in Florence, this climb was a breeze. I absolutely loved being able to see all of the gothic architecture while we climbed through the spires. I especially enjoyed all of the gargoyles because I found out that, if you have about 100,000 euros, you can adopt one and the money goes towards the Duomo’s restoration. Sadly I am not that rich at this point in my life but I can dream. At the end of the night we had a really nice dinner and took one last walk in the Italian streets. Traveling abroad has challenged me and changed me in so many ways and I am so thankful to have had this experience. Italy is a beautiful country and I cannot wait to come visit it again!
